Jeez you lot are hard work (well some of you are!) - beginning to think it might not be worth the bother, yes it is the original gaelic spelling but isn't commonly used as most people go for Keir, which incidentally is a completely different strain of the name and not just the anglised spelling.
Yes, what i meant was that i had added the name to the name finder on here as it wasn't on and then magically the next day it was on as "name of the day"......that's what the post was about - didn't realise that I had to be asking something - next I'll have the grammar gestapo and the apostrophe police on my back!!!
I honestly couldn't give a massive smelly poo whether people like the name or not - and my "baby" is actually nearly 11. I joined the site as I came across a post relating to something local to me and I thought i could help out. Stayed for a wee while and joined in a bit.
I was always taught if you can't say something nice then keep your gob shut - obviously doesn't seem to apply to some people.
my post back to the first person was not nasty i think - it was a bit of an odd response form them i thought
Anyhoo, I would rather be able to shout my child's name and have only one child turn round rather than half the playground but I know some people like their kids to have a popular name as it maybe helps them to fit in better, i don't know, everyone makes their own choices for their own reasons. However, Gaelic spelling or usual spelling, that name is actually quite popular in the area that we now live but wasn't where we lived when he was born, if that makes sense!
On that note, i'm off to get organised for tomorrow so feel free to be as nasty as you like and I'll have a good read tomorrow.........NOT!!!
